Los Alisios Shopping Centre: The Biggest Shopping Mall in the Canaries

The Alisios Shopping Centre opened at the end of November 2017 in the outskirts of the capital, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. It is the largest mall of the Canaries, has a variety of shops, restaurants, and other interesting things to see. It has tried to differentiate itself from other shopping centres by having more outdoor areas, and encourages visitors to walk around more, and enjoy eating and drinking in the open air cafes, bars, and restaurants.

There are plenty of places to just sit around and take a break


To get to this shopping centre you can take a bus, taxi, or drive there.

If you're driving, all you have to do is to get on the GC-3 motorway and then take exit 9. During certain times of the day, on this motorway, there are bottlenecks and it can take longer to get there, but generally it isn't the case. A better (and direct) road that links this mall to the main motorway will be built in 2018.

Free parking is available, where all the cars can park on the same floor. This makes it easy to search for a parking spot, and to find your car once your going back.

If you want to get there by bus, the best option is to go the San Telmo bus station, and then take one of the following blue buses: 216, 229, 320, 335. There are a couple of yellow buses that go there too, but there is little bit more walking to do, from where they will leave you: 44, 47, 91.
